He worked out at a gym just up the road from there, so he set it up so that I would meet him on his way home from the gym, which gave him the perfect alibi with his wife. He also said that he knew of a great place to park not far from the mall. He told me he had a large SUV that had tinted windows which would give us the privacy and space we needed.
He told me that he knew of a good spot so we arranged to meet me at the mall. He was married and I was in live-in relationship with my girlfriend at the time, so neither of us could host. The only time I've ever done anything in public was in a parking lot with a guy I met on CL.
